This is a splash top, not a dry top and will not keep you totally dry if you swim as the wrist and neck do not seal as tight as gore tex dry tops with latex neck and wrist seals.

It will do a pretty good job unless you swim. Then it will leak around the neck and wrist area

This is the type we all used not that long ago.

Looks like a good deal on a splash top, that is a top brand.

Soon as summer time boating starts, this is the type I wear the most.

Looks like they do have another pretty good deal on a true gore tex dry top if that is what you want. Again, a top brand dry top.
